If you're in an unfamiliar place and don't know which way is up it can be hard to figure out the right thing to do. Something that has never failed
me is finding the biggest group of people and sticking with them.
I had just landed in Berlin and the new Brandenberg airport is mildly chaotic. Lots of terminals, omnidirectional pedestrian traffic, and signs for gepäckausgabe pointing in opposite directions. Completely lost, I just followed the large number of people that got off the plane with me and eventually, with some readjustments, made it to the train station. When I got off the train, I stepped into the multi tiered shopping complex at Fredrichstraße station and was hopelessly lost but once again I followed the herd to the exit and even met someone that was going to the same hostel I was.
Not to promote following the herd but sometimes it can be a good thing.
Side note: I've been told French is fairly prominent along side Arabic. Gonna do some duolingo on the way to Marrakesh- let's see how good my French can get
Auf wiedersehen Berlin et bonjour Marrakesh
